Re: I feel like I'm slipping... big_daddy: Yeah, I guess I've done everything humanly possible short of telling her its fine that she keep an OM on the side while I continue to pretend like everything is perfect.
Yeah, that's not going to happen.
I actually got a slap in the face reminder of why this is all happening when I just left work briefly to pick my son up from school. She isn't feeling too well (probably caught something from the OM this weekend at the hotel)...so I woke her up (was sleeping with our youngest), brought her meds, coffee, etc...took me 45 minutes to get her awake enough to feel comfortable that she would stay awake with the kids. What did I get in return? No appreciation, a serving of disrespect, and some eye rolls and cussing because I have to go back to work and she can't go back to sleep.
Not that I haven't missed like 20 hours out of each work week due to all this BS anyways. Some aspects of all of this will be so much easier once she's out and has to wake up and face the same real world that the rest of us do.
Thanks for your support...it helps. And yeah Brielle...sadly I don't want my work day to end either, except that I wish my kids could be here with me.

Don't expect too much, and never underestimate the power of denial.
Re: I feel like I'm slipping... monkeygirl: It's been over 2 months since I've been separated. I still feel like one day he's going to have some ephinany and want to all of a sudden do everything possible to save our marriage. It's called denial!
Re: I feel like I'm slipping... Feel: You can't beat yourself up... as you said she ended it not you!
And your ring, you don't have to take it off... do it when your ready, not because she ended it! You married with your heart not just a paper!
